"There's none so blind as they that won't see."
Seventeen-year-old Tricia Farni's body floated to the surface of
Alaska's Birch River six months after the night she disappeared.
The night Roz Hart had a fight with her. The night Roz can't
remember. Roz, who struggles with macular degeneration, is used to
assembling fragments to make sense of the world around her. But
this time it's her memory that needs piecing together--to clear her
name . . . to find a murderer. This unflinchingly emotional novel
is written in the powerful first-person voice of a legally blind
teen who just wants to be like everyone else.
A simple tale of love and friendship to warm your heart
Award-winning author and designer Shaila Abdullah teams up with
her 10-year-old daughter Aanyah to bring you this heartwarming tale
of a little girl who forms a close bond with a child with cerebral
palsy. The girl finds that through her art, she can reach her
special friend Suhana.
"My Friend Suhana is a delightful read for a children's book. Very
well illustrated with respect, friendship, and advocacy all in mind
at the same time."
--Dawn Cruzan, President, Camp Craig Allen for all abilities
"This is the story of a seven-year-old's first attempt at
unconditional love. Tough but tender, inspirational yet utterly
real, this is a small gem of a tale. Highly recommended for anyone
in the position of mentoring a beloved child through the hard
places of life."
--Paula Huston, author of "A Season of Mystery" and "A Land
Without Sin"
"My Friend Suhana is a charming and perceptive book that will draw
its readers into empathy while allowing them to enjoy this
heartwarming story of two uncommon friends."
--Chitra Divakaruni, author of "Grandma and the Great Gourd"

When Charley goes to the playground and sees Emma, a girl with limb
differences who gets around in a wheelchair, he doesn't know how to
react at first. But after he and Emma start talking, he learns that
different isn't bad, sad, or strange--different is just different,
and different is great! This delightful book will help kids think
about disability, kindness, and how to behave when they meet
someone who is different from them.
Do you know a child who hates the feel of certain items of
clothing? This is a child's perspective on a largely unrecognized
condition called tactile defensiveness, a physical condition that
causes hypersensitivity to certain touch sensations. Intended for
adults and children to read together, the illustrated book explains
reasons a child may become emotionally overwhelmed by daily
routines such as putting on clothing, socks and shoes. The workbook
format allows children to express and explore their own feelings
through drawings or words, in order to explain their misunderstood
behavior. A perfect book for children, families, teachers,
therapists and other professionals dealing with tactile
defensiveness suitable to be read with children aged 4 and above.

Ceejay has never been pretty or popular, but she knows who she is:
she's younger sister to Bobby, the most charming bad boy in town.
Bobby's a bit wild, but with his big heart and sense of fun,
everybody loves him. And nobody understands Ceejay like Bobby.
Now, Ceejay can't wait for Bobby to return home from his tour in
Iraq. But then he turns up unannounced and seems to be avoiding his
family. And he's so different. His wild streak has become reckless.
His sense of fun has become desperate. And seeing this, Ceejay's
own tough shell begins to crack. How can she believe in being
strong when her hero is broken?
As she tries to get Bobby back, Ceejay begins to reexamine her
family, her community, and everyone in her life. What she finds is
that true strength is not quite what she thought it was.

navigate the skills required for daily living and integration into
their communities. Teens and young adults with ASD face many unique
challenges on the road to growing up. Daily interactions that we
often take for granted-yet are imperative for living
independently-can be particularly difficult. People with ASD
require practice with simple activities and interactions in school,
in the community, and on the job site. So how can you help the teen
in your life gain the skills needed to successfully transition into
adulthood? This easy-to-follow and engaging workbook is designed to
help young adults ages fourteen and up develop invaluable
communication skills and practice with interactions they would
encounter in everyday life. Teens will also find information on
topics that are imperative for a successful transition into
adulthood-including health and safety, self-care, and more. This
unique book not only focuses on what adaptive skills are needed in
the real world, but also gives teens with ASD the ability to
practice these skills, either independently or with a
teacher/caregiver. Give the teen in your life the gift of
independence. With this workbook, they will be one step closer to
leading full, productive, and meaningful lives. Teens need mental
health resources more than ever. With over 1.2 million copies sold
